Accolades to Stevyn Walder – who ran a great time of 3:48:11 at The Melbourne Marathon 2021 – to raise funds for TCFV in memory of Rhys Gillard (17). You can still support Stevyn before the campaign ends on 24 December, 2021. On behalf of TCFV and the Gillard family, a huge thank you Stevyn!
As per Department of Health requirements, if you are attending a TCFV event or group, you will need to have been fully vaccinated. We thank you for your assistance.
The Compassionate Friends Victoria have a number of education programs that can be tailored to suit any audience and every program is presented by a trained speaker with lived experience. Our presentations aim to provide a better understanding of grief, to assist the audience in feeling more confident in knowing what to say to someone who has experienced the loss of a child or sibling and to generate awareness about our support services.
TCFV can work with your staff to help them to know the right behaviours and phrases to support a grieving person return to work and become more comfortable, more quickly. We can also work with your team leader to help them understand grief and bereavement and so, identify early warning signs of distress. Click for more details.
